The low-carb or ketogenic diet is the best way to both get lean and stay healthy. Here are three reasons to minimise carbs in your diet 1. Too many carbs means too much stimulation of insulin. Not only does this cause fat deposits, it also increases your risk of insulin resistance and diabetes. 2. Fructose, the sweet sugar molecule, is metabolised in your liver. Too much and the damage to the liver is like that seen with alcohol. We're seeing more of it in medical practice, including in children! 3. Eating a carb-loaded diet is an OPPORTUNITY LOST to eat something more nutrient-dense. Most carbohydrate-based foods have nutrients of course, but not as much as other foods like meat, cheese, eggs, nuts and fish. Why not eat something that nourishes you and doesn't contains non-essential nutrients. Remember the effects of a carb-loaded diet occur because of several months and years, not because of one or two meals. Base MOST your diet around healthy protein, non-starchy veg and healthy fats to maximise the nutrients and minimise the carbs and sugars. #lowcarblifestyle #focusonthemacronutrients #goodfats #eatrealfood #highfatlowcarb #eatmeat #eatmore #nutrientdensity #highproteinlowcarb #highfatlowcarb #getlean #fitbodydoc https://www.instagram.com/p/BuDpzm-gRSS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nx6ovmdpd943
